Performance Based Planning

Performance-based planning utilizes performance data to inform decision-making and outcomes. In 2016, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Highway Authority (FHWA) published the final rules requiring metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to coordinate with transit providers to set performance targets and performance plans that are integrated into local planning documents. These requirements are a result of transportation law, established through MAP-21 and the FAST Act, requiring agencies that receive federal transportation funding to transition to outcome-based decision-making and planning.

National performance measures have been established in the following categories: Safety on Roads, Pavement Condition on the Interstate and Non-Interstate National Highway System, Bridge Condition on the National Highway System , Performance of the National Highway System, Freight Movement on the Interstate System, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality – On-Road Mobile Source Emissions , and Transit Asset Management.

The Central Lane MPO Policy Board adopted Resolutions to support the State targets for the following Federal Highway Performance Measures:
